Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Trial

Hi Guys, rather archaically I am still on Windows XP and Office 2003.

I downloaded the Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Trial this morning from MS, but they havn't emailed me a key because I think its all been replaced now with office 2013 which wont run on XP.

I really want to play with 2010 before I buy it (its the last version that works on XP - and I need XP for other legacy software I run).

Does anyone know where I can get the trial key from so I can play with it - is there someone I can email at MS ?

kind regards and I appreciate any input.

    There are no trials of any Office 2010 versions available from MS, they have all been withdrawn.

    Nor can you buy any Office 2010 version from MS.

    Any Pro Plus trial you downloaded from MS would have been the 2013 version

    Win7 can usually run legacy software, and if you have win7 pro you can obtain the free virtual winxp from MS and install earlier programs in that environment.

    No you cannot buy 2010 versions from MS, only third party suppliers, and since 2010 Pro Plus is a volume license it was only ever available to qualifying individuals, and not retail

    Hi yes I just spoke to them on the phone and they confirmed the trial is over - although they did say I could still buy 2010 from them and the price was pretty good so I am probably just goign to bit the bullet and do that thanks.
